This paper is inserted in a research project that has as an objective the preparationof theoretical and methodological bases for a Monolingual dictionary of Spanish as L2 for nativespeakers of Portuguese. The semantic comment is one of the biggest challenges of lexicography,as much in terms of formulation of defining paraphrases as with regard to its understanding onthe user's part. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the quality of the defining paraphrases ofsome categories of the grammatical words on semasiological monolingual dictionaries ofportuguese and spanish. As methodology we will use the distinction between metalanguage ofsign and metalanguage of content, the possibility of submiting the defining paraphrases toexercises of permutation, as well as their elucidative degree. We believe that the explanatoriesparaphrases for the grammatical words are of partial usefulness for the user. Therefore, weconsider that is necessary to look for new models of definition for this kind of signs. Workingwith these two languages (portuguese and spanish) is justified due to the possibility of doing aparallel analysis that permits to understand the problem in the object language and in the nativelanguage of the potential user.
